1440p performance penalty?

[Egbert Drenth 250]

Hi,

 

I'm considering to buy an WQHD monitor for P3D but I'm a bit worried about the performance penalty it may cause.

I have a pretty beefy system (Skylake i7-6700K @ 4.6 + 6GB 980Ti) but coming from HD it implies an pixel increase of 70%.

Most of the time I fly the PMDG NGX, Majestic Q400 and other like wise aircraft. Also I use detailed airports, REX, ASE, etc.

 

30fps is about the minimum I would like to achieve under most/all circumstances.

 

What are you experiences? Does impose 1440p a big performace decrease compared to 1080p?

P.S. Forgot to ask: Does 1440p also has a negative impact on VAS memory because of increased resultion

Unless you have very high AA settings a 980Ti should be more than adequate. I went from 1920x1080 to 2560x1440 with a 760 and didn't notice a difference.

 

Cheers!

Hi Luke,

 

Thanks for your advise.

I bought a Dell U2715H and I'm very happy with it. Crisp graphics and very nice colors.

Nice choice Egbert. How is it?

How is it?

 

The monitor itself is nicely designed.

It has lots of settings which I didn't use so far except for the choise of input method (mini display port). Initially I had a black screen until I changed the input method.

Also luckily the 980Ti supports Display Port because I read quite a few messages of people not being able to use full resolution using HDMI connection.

I don't know if that is HDMI/cable or hardware (graphics card) related.

 

The display itself is very nice and crisp. One of the best monitors I've ever had.

I bought it solely based on reviews I read. 

I primarily use it for Flight simulator purposes so I don't know how it behaves with FPS like Battlefield. It is an IPS screen and they tend not to have the fastest refresh rates.

But as I said: I'm a happy camper (on my way to KWYS  :wink: )

Oh that sounds like a great monitor.

 

I went ahead and bought an LG 34UC97C-B last week and must say I love it and can't wait to get P3D running on it. I decided against 4K, and am more than happy with this...
